00:00Straight away wide outside off, and it just, well, you can say he starts off where he left off last evening.

00:19Going. Yeah. This time he gets all of it. He'll play his shots now. Jacob Duffy.

00:30Yeah, that's a nice shot. Off the back foot. Just makes a little room and plays it past back foot point.

00:39That's not going to work. He didn't even bother running. He knew it. He's hit it well.

00:47And he's played that down to that mid-wicket region. He loved watching that ball sail away.

00:55Nice drive. Chivanga won't make it. That's a proper shot. Duffy's enjoying himself.

01:02Have a look at the comparison. Conway, 91 runs, 11 boundaries. Duffy, he's already got six for his 31.

01:08First 30 minutes. And they've nearly ticked that box as well.

01:14And it'll run away for yet another boundary. Short and wide. Not there, though. The half volley.

01:21Down the ground. And a test hundred for Devon Conway. A terrific innings.

01:30His fifth test hundred. And he continues to dominate the Zabawian bowling.

01:35He's played a wonderful innings.

01:40Deft. Ah, the late count. A little bit of class and finesse. And that will run away for another boundary.

01:47And we've seen this morning.

01:48Oh, how hard is it? A rare poor delivery. It's really well taken at mid-wicket.

01:55And the very good innings from the night watchman. Jacob Duffy comes to an end.

02:01Ryan Bennett, some of the safest hands in Zabawian. His squad moves smartly to his right.

02:08Poor delivery. That'll be four.

02:12Develop his game in bringing the flipper, the slider, the googly.

02:17And his conventional stock delivery. And the angles he'll create.

02:21There's another boundary here. Runs a-flowing.

02:26Oh, that one keeps low.

02:31Thick outside edge. And it'll run away for four.

02:37Yeah, you know, you talk about match-ups, Tino.

02:38And I feel the conversation is more relevant in the shortened version.

02:44When you're trying to put pressure on a batter as we see yet another boundary.

02:48A surfboard.

02:51Four.

03:00Yeah, now good placement.

03:02Full toss. Converted into a boundary.

03:06Try your bench. How good they are.

03:09Nicely driven through for another boundary.

03:11Every over or two is getting a boundary.

03:16South Africa had a similar approach.

03:19600-something runs, but they got them out early.

03:22It is lunch on day two here at the Queen Sports Club in Bulawayo.

03:28And it has been in New Zealand all the way.

03:29306 for two. And now a lead of 181 with Conwayo.

03:35140 strong. This is the session there.

03:38Which way do they want to go and take this game? New Zealand.

03:42Excellent. 306 for two in the 71 overs that they ball.

03:46Bowling only two occasions where they had a bit of a smile.

03:52Gwandu got the first wicket of Young here last evening and then Masakesa cleared.

03:57Quick and flat looked like that was for the Zimbabweans today.

04:08That's a full toss and it's been put away. Can't ball those to Sid Nichols.

04:22That is the 50. Henry Nichols from 76 deliveries.

04:38I think that will go away for four. It will.

04:48But on top of that, a great amount of exposure as well for the Zimbabwean players.

04:53The first test match.

04:58Delicate.

05:01Well thought out this.

05:03This is the first time.

05:13You won't struggle to put those away Conway.

05:23150 number two in test match cricket.

05:29It has been a monumental effort from this man.

05:31He's gone through the tough periods.

05:34Devon Conway.

05:36Oxygen mask.

05:41He's picked him out. What a delivery.

05:44A little bit of land, but this is how he has to go.

05:48Leaves one.

05:49Does it come off something? We'll have a closer look again.

05:53Nice looking shot. It's late.

05:58Behind square for four.

06:00That's why we told him why he would make me run shuttles

06:03in between the overs. This is our push and it'll run away for four.

06:09And he said to me, at most you'd probably be at fine leg or mid on a mid off.

06:14That's an error.

06:20Runs here.

06:21There will be four of them nicely driven away by Rachan Dravindra.

06:33Beautiful shot.

06:35Short cover. Couldn't stop it.

06:37It goes to the boundary.

06:45It's gone through that third slip region.

06:47And it'll go to the boundary for four.

06:49I don't know why and what has prompted him to come back around the way.

06:56Wow.

06:57He's hammered that for one boundary into the fez.

07:00Three in the over.

07:00And you can see how well he's watching the ball to be able to hit that.

07:08Oh, wow.

07:09I want you to describe this.

07:11How he's pierced those two fielders.

07:13There's hardly any gap at an angle.

07:21It's gone away.

07:22Just a boundary.

07:23It's the intent he's shown, though, since he's got to the crazy run lead.

07:32Good use of the feet straight down the ground.

07:35And we'll run away for four.

07:36Well, the way Rachan Dravindra is going.

07:40Versus New Zealand.

07:43That's gone fine.

07:44We'll go away for another boundary.

07:47The highest team score Zimbabwe has managed in those four test matches is two if needed.

07:55Nicely whipped away.

07:58The outfield is quick.

08:01And another boundary.

08:02Two in the over.

08:0345 over competition in T20 in South Africa.

08:09It's beautifully played.

08:10Just waited for the width.

08:12Opened the face.

08:14Getting ever called.

08:15Way to improve.

08:18Shot.

08:19Partially stopped.

08:20But the power is too much.

08:21And that will be 50 for Rachan Dravindra.

08:27Well, he's got to this in a hurry, hasn't he?

08:33This squirts a little uppishly.

08:37That'll run away for four.

08:40300 run lead now for New Zealand.

08:43And this might be.

08:49Solid defence to finish.

08:51It should be T.

08:53It is.

08:53Alex Worf taking the bails off.

08:56The players will walk off to another very good session for New Zealand.

09:00Rachan Dravindra has looked all class, as he often does.

09:04So, T on day two.

09:07New Zealand lead by 302 runs as they continue to forge further and further ahead.

09:13Session three.

09:14Here we go.

09:19Yeah, Queens.

09:21But here we go.

09:22Another main feature.

09:25Star of the show today.

09:29He'll add himself to the Centurions in this batting line-up.

09:36Henry Nichols.

09:38Some say he stood in for the skipper Tom Latham in the first test match.

09:43Some say he did it in the second test match.

09:46But he stands alone as he goes to 100.

09:49102.

09:50Tenth in test matches.

09:53Manual scoreboard.

10:03Lyrical about that.

10:06But then you got to wax lyrical about this.

10:10Come on now.

10:12Come on now.

10:16Come on now, Rachan.

10:19Oh, yes.

10:20You're showing off.

10:22And we love it.

10:26Running with the shot.

10:27He'll make it comfortably in another test 100.

10:29Rachan Ravindra, his third in test match cricket.

10:34And it comes at double quick speed.

10:38Wonderful display of batsmanship from this young New Zealand left-hander.

10:44104 deliveries is all it.

10:49Oh, that's beautifully played.

10:50Through extra cover.

10:52He will pick up another boundary.

10:55There's such an understanding of the angles around the cricket field.

10:58Going over the top with the low full toss.

11:04The man on 100.

11:05That is easy as you like for a boundary.

11:07Down the ground.

11:12Timed wonderfully well.

11:14Not bothering to run as Henry Nicholls.

11:16Second boundary in the over.

11:1810 runs from it.

11:19500 and 26 for three as New Zealand's lead passes 400.

11:25There's the edge.

11:27There's the edge with the slip taken out and will run away for four.

11:30Oh, that's been hit hard down the ground.

11:34Drilled down the ground by Rachan Ravindra.

11:38Gets another boundary to his name.

11:43Oh, throws on the reverse sweep.

11:45Beats both bat and keeper.

11:50Who gives chase?

11:53Chilanga runs this bat.

12:00It's another boundary.

12:03That's they're just now just toying with the fear.

12:06And he would say, two more days, Sanger.

12:13No second guesses where that's gone.

12:15Hit with the stain.

12:18Yet another boundary.

12:22Shot.

12:24It's another boundary.

12:25Yeah.

12:28England versus Pakistan in more time.

12:30Yeah, Queen's Sports Club.

12:36Lucky that didn't hit him on the head.

12:37A little bit of a bobble off the table.

12:39But yet another boundary.

12:40150 already.

12:43Yeah, it'll be 150 now.

12:45All the way emphatically for 150.

12:49Rachan Ravindra.

12:5024s and his first six of the innings.

12:57Striking at 115.

13:03Yeah, the first two deliveries have gone for 10 runs.

13:05And that should be the second maximum in the over.

13:13This may be the final rights of this New Zealand innings overnight.

13:18You never know.

13:18The impetus is...

13:23And this might will go a boundary as well.

13:27Wow.

13:29Pulled away.

13:30All the field that was being moved on the offside.

13:33He holds one on the leg stump.

13:35And that boundary brings the score to 598 now.

13:45Yeah, both Nichols and Ravindra have scored more than what Zimbabwe scored.

13:48150.

13:50Up for Nichols with that single.

13:59It probably was the slowest over in the innings in terms of time.

14:07130 overs ball today.

14:09601 for three.

14:11New Zealand.

14:13It's a story populated by performances from New Zealand.

14:17They lead by 476.

14:20It is day two, session three.

14:22That's coming.

14:30And the Anton innings at play.

14:32It's day two for three days.

14:32It's a story

14:418w480.

14:42It's January 1, 20th.

14:44It's Everyton did at a time.

14:45It's already a time to run with the will.

14:47Barely run, Ray.

14:47And it's early to 24, spike from demanding topics.

14:505w280.

14:513w380

14:528w00.

14:535w1 IMB40.

14:545w1-800.
